      Not really a big fan of children, I take it?

          It must be very satisfying for you to read the daily news

              Why would you say it’s a “sick” satisfaction if it’s exactly the outcome you want?

                It’s perfectly fine to recognize that my delight in the fall of an entire species is a bit sick, regardless of it being deserved.

        Can you actually make one good argument for having children that isnt selfish?

          Would it be less selfish in your estimation if they had the opportunity to inherit a survivable world?

            Survivable? No. Thrivable? Maybe.

          Are you happy to have been born? If no, I’m sorry. If yes, the same would possibly apply to your children.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
